Hello Cyde. At ] there's a request to rename ] to ]. The category comes from a {{tl|popcat}} template. I could do it with AWB, but there are 200-odd subcategories to change and it would take a long time. All that's needed it to replace <nowiki>{{popcat|Underpopulated Music categories}}</nowiki> with <nowiki>{{popcat|Underpopulated music categories}}</nowiki>. Could Cydebot handle this? It would be a big help! ] ] 13:36, 26 March 2007 (UTC)

:I did this with AFB, but there are still some non-standard but probably bot-able CFD closes that Cydebot's help with would be much appreciated. We are looking to move templates from article pages to talk pages for "source" templates (], ], etc). I know how to do this with AWB, but it would be a huge job. I suppose I could always ask for a bot flag, but I'm not so keen on that (if you have a bot, even it's only auto-AWB, people will come asking for stuff). ] ] 18:21, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi Cyde,

Recently, Cydebot made a change that implemented ].

If I am reading Radiant's statement correctly, he wanted the category moved to ]. Instead, Cydebot moved the category to ].

About a year ago, Tawkerbot2 started monitoring ], and it did a great job of keeping the top two lines intact. See my original request explaining the requirements ]


]
AntiVandalbot was at one time also monitoring this page, but now it is not. Can you have it start monitoring the page again? Or, if it is not too much trouble, extract out the code for a seperate bot to monitor this page (and possibly ] and ]).
a kitten for you!

I just wanted to comment on your post to betacommand's ARBCOM case. Last time we had an admin bot up for RFA it almost passed, and I think it would have passed had Werdna not made the mediawiki improvement. The key concerns I saw on that RFA were, one the fact the bot was closed source, and two, it was not made clear on any additional tasks that the bot would run. Should it be one adminbot per task, or multiple tasks to the one bot that gets approved. Personally I would prefer the former rather then the later, but I do think that the community will accept a properly done adminbot. Just make it open source (nobody but sysops can run it anyway), and promise that you will go back again for a new tasking. But again based on that RFA, adminbots should be able to pass it if they are done right. (please comment on my talk) —— ] </font><sup>]</sup> 16:46, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
:Cyde, I've commented out the tests on this test page due to Misza13's random number generator creating negative values when it should not be. These negative values for image sizes are causing invalid image parameter errors (tracked ] errors that have otherwise been cleaned up here on en.wiki). If you, Cyde, still want these tests, consider using a different randomizer. Thanks, ] (]) 04:00, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
:By new tasking I mean if you get community agreement to run task X, don't try to run a new task Y that is totally different then the one that the community accepted, but a task Z that is very similar, (perhaps just a new category or whatever) should be able to go through BAG. —— ] </font><sup>]</sup> 16:48, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

duck or goose

re User:Cyde/test, that looks like a greylag goose, not a duck. —Anomalocaris (talk) 20:01, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Cyde, I've commented out the tests on this test page due to Misza13's random number generator creating negative values when it should not be. These negative values for image sizes are causing invalid image parameter errors (tracked WP:LINT errors that have otherwise been cleaned up here on en.wiki). If you, Cyde, still want these tests, consider using a different randomizer. Thanks, Zinnober9 (talk) 04:00, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
